Mrs. Stiffle Quotes in The Chumscrubber (2005)

Charlie Stiffle: [playing a video game] Son of a bitch!

Mrs. Stiffle: Charlie! I am doing Veggie Force!

Dean Stiffle: ...It's just a beer, mom.

Mrs. Stiffle: You don't have to explain yourself to me Dean, I trust you... I wonder what that'd be like. If we could just switch roles - You could be the parent, and I would be the child, and you could tell me what to do and I would listen to you, and I would trust you...

Dean Stiffle: Are you okay, mom?

[pauses]

Mrs. Stiffle: I'm supposed to be making a casserole right now for Troy's memorial service... I don't know what's wrong with me. My basic energy level has just been noticeably low, lately.

[Mrs. Stiffle starts to laugh]

Dean Stiffle: Mom, I'm sorry... I have to go.

Mrs. Stiffle: No, do not explain yourself to me Dean, I told you not to do that.

Mrs. Johnson: Hello, Allie!

Mrs. Stiffle: Carrie... hi! How are you?

Mrs. Johnson: Am I interrupting?

Mrs. Stiffle: No, come in. I'm just in the middle of making dinner - would you like a glass of wine?

Mrs. Johnson: Oh, well I left the car running. I just wanted to come back and return your dish and say thank you. It has been such a relief to not have to cook lately, everyone has been *so* nice.

Mrs. Stiffle: [Carrie holds the dish out for Allie to take] ... Oh.

Mrs. Johnson: What?

Mrs. Stiffle: This dish...

Mrs. Johnson: Oh! Oh my God - Is this not the right one? Oh, I got so many, I mean... I've been jotting around all night returning them. Like I said, everyone has been so nice.

Mrs. Stiffle: ...I don't believe I brought over a casserole.

Mrs. Stiffle: [Runs to go check on the dinner] Could you hang on just one second, Carrie.

Mrs. Johnson: [Carrie follows Allie from the doorway to the kitchen] Allie, am I making a mistake here?

Mrs. Stiffle: Bill and I were meaning to come over, Carrie, really. You just get so busy.

Mrs. Johnson: No, but I'm certain. I mean, you came over. We had coffee. We talked. Right? Or am I... just imagining all of this? Is that what I'm doing here, am I just imagining all of it?

Mrs. Stiffle: ...I'm sorry Carrie. We just get so busy sometimes.

Mrs. Johnson: [Starts to back away out of the kitchen and back to the doorway] I'm so embarrassed... I don't know what I was thinking. I mean, here you are preparing a nice family dinner, and I just come in and interrupt everything with no reason at all!

Mrs. Stiffle: [Follows Carrie to the doorway] Carrie, why don't you stay for dinner?

Mrs. Johnson: I really can't. I have so many dishes to return, tonight. Everyone has been so *unbelievably* nice! So we'll see you on Sunday, Allie?

Mrs. Stiffle: Sunday?

Mrs. Johnson: Oh, don't tell me that I forgot your invitation, too!... Troy's memorial. It's this Sunday.

Mrs. Stiffle: Of course Carrie, right. We're looking forward. We'll be there.

Mrs. Johnson: Oh. And I... I wanted to let you know, just in case you were wondering...

Mrs. Stiffle: Yes?

Mrs. Johnson: In no way, whatsoever, do I blame you for Troy's death.

Mrs. Johnson: [Hands Allie the dish and walks out] Goodnight!
